The Global Day of Parents is observed every year on June 1st. The Day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012. The aim is to honour and appreciate parents throughout the world for their love, care, affection, sacrifice, selfless commitment to children.
In its resolution, the General Assembly also noted that the family has the primary responsibility for the nurturing and protection of children and that children, for the full and harmonious development of their personality, should grow up in a family environment and in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding.
